Shelley comes to the ring with a video camera and tripod. He sets it up on the outside, and Tenay remarks how Shelley is a student of the game and loves to study tapes.

-Terry Taylor is backstage with AMW. He asks them about their tables match with Team 3D at Turning Point. AMW is watching the funeral segment they did for Team 3D a little over a month ago. Taylor calls it disrespectful. Harris says it was done out of respect for their careers, but they aren’t the top tag team in wrestling anymore. He says AMW is. Storm says just like Babe Ruth called his shot when he hit that home run, they call their shots. He says they are going to be team. He says Team 3D may have invented the tables match, but they are going to perfect it.

Abyss then nails the Black Hole Slam and gets the pinfall. Just your typical squash match for Abyss.
Winner: Abyss
-James Mitchell enters the ring with a microphone as we go to commercial.
–COMMERCIAL BREAK–
-Mitchell is on the microphone. He says he suggests Sabu listen to what he has to say. The lights then go out. They come on and Sabu is in the ring with a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire. Abyss kicks it away. Sabu runs into a big right hand. Tenay and West mention that’s the first time Abyss hasn’t run away from barbed wire. Abyss tosses him out of the ring.

They fight through the fans. Abyss sends Sabu into the wall. They continue fighting through the fans with Abyss screaming at Sabu. They are now entering the backstage area.

Abyss grabs the barbed wire wrapped chair again, and he just holds it and yells into the camera.
–COMMERCIAL BREAK–
-The second installment of the Rhino life story video packages airs. Another very well done piece.
-Tenay and West start talking about the Rhino vs. Jeff Jarrett match at Turning Point. West then mentions the TNA Anthology DVD set that is available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores as well as the Wal-Mart website (I highly recommend this set. Three TNA PPVs for 20 bucks). West also mentions that TNA has other home video releases available everywhere. Jarrett then comes out screaming for Tenay to get in the ring to interview him.
-Jarrett says he feels like he’s on Doctor Phil after watching that video package on Rhino. He says TNA Management made it, and they are going for the sympathy vote. He says they are trying to make him the biggest babyface in the world to knock him (Jarrett) off the mountain. Jarrett says it’s Rhino’s fault that he wrecked their hotel lobby, his wife divorced him, and that she left the country for Germany with his daughter. Jarrett says he’s the one with problems, because TNA management is out to screw him. He says he gets zero respect after building the company from the ground up. Jarrett says Gail Kim won’t return his calls, and it’s TNA management’s fault since they got Jackie Gayda to come down to the ring and slap him. Tenay asks Jarrett if he really has no idea why Jackie slapped him? Jarrett tells Tenay he better never go there again or he will crush his voicebox. Jarrett says if Rhino doesn’t get the job done this month, next month the flavor of the month it will be Christian, and it will be whoever else they can get after that. He says he is going to send Rhino back to the trailor park “with a pack of cigarettes in one hand, and a 40 in the other.” Christian’s theme then comes on and out he walks. Christian says, “Listen up slap nuts,” stealing Jarrett’s old line. Christian says he was sitting in the back listening to Jarrett put the crowd to sleep, minding his own business, when he heard Jarrett mention him as being a flavor of the month. Christian says he’s not the flavor of the month, he’s “Captain Charisma you silly bastard.” Christian says he’s only been TNA for about a month, but he’s just like everyone else in the arena, he’s bored of Jarrett. Christian says he’s tired of hearing Jarrett whine, and he then asks Jarrett what has he contributed to TNA other than “a couple of broken guitars, and a bunch of bad haircuts?” The crowd chants “you got served” at Jarrett. Christian says after he beats that jacked up, Urkel lookalike Monty Brown at Turning Point, he is coming to fulfill his destiny. He’s coming for the winner of Jarrett’s match and the NWA World title because that’s how he rolls. Jarrett calls Christian motormouth. He says he will give Christian two choices. He can roll himself backstage and get his nose out of his business, or he can roll down the ramp and get a taste of what Jarrett is going to give Rhino at Turning Point. Christian comes down the ramp into the ring and they brawl. Jarrett takes the early offensive with punches, but Christian fights back with punches and a kick of his own. Christian runs into a back elbow. Christian then ducks a clothesline, and he almost gets Jarrett in the Unprettier, but Jarrett bails out of the ring. Bobby Roode comes out and attacks Jarrett from behind with the Northern Lariat clothesline. Jackie Gayda runs out and pulls Jarrett off the apron. Jarrett yells she has no business here and pushes her. Gayda then slaps Jarrett. Security comes out and takes Gayda away. Security is also in the ring breaking up the Bobby Roode and Christian brawl. AMW has come out and they are asking Jarrett about what is going on with Jackie Gayda. Christian breaks the hold of security and he and Roode brawl some more as we go to commercial. This was an absolutely awesome segment. Christian was hilarious as usual, and Jarrett was dead-on with his intensity. It’s too bad that the Jarrett-Rhino match this month doesn’t have near the amount of momentum that Jarrett and Christian’s eventual match does. When the two brawled in the ring tonight, the fans were really into it. The two have great chemistry together on the mic, and that should also translate into good chemistry in the ring as well judging on their short brawl they had tonight. Jarrett and Christian looks to be a possible great match and feud coming up in January.
–COMMERCIAL BREAK–
-Backstage, Terry Taylor is with the 4 Live Kru and “Bullet” Bob Armstrong. He calls Killings a pure athlete. He says any NFL lineman would be jealous to have Kip’s body, agility, and skill. He says he watched BG come into this world. He talks about BG having 3 older brothers and having to claw for everything. He says he wants to shake Konnan’s hand for solving the problem and putting the last piece in the puzzle. Bob says he’s seen them come and go, and he says these four men are the chosen ones. He says they can rule if they remember the old saying, “united we stand, divided we fall.” BG says at Turning Point, they will teach Team Canada the difference between a team and a family.
-Raven comes out for his House of Fun match. Larry Zbyszko is in the ring waiting for him. Larry again asks him to sign his release. Raven says the only way he will do it is if the security moves, he gives Larry the Raven Effect, Larry pisses himself in fear, and he signs the contract in Larry’s blood. Larry says he’ll be begging to sign it soon. Larry says Raven’s girlfriend will like this next match, and Raven goes balistic again at the mention of the girlfriend.
–COMMERCIAL BREAK–
